FRP is an interesting topic (I thought so anyway, I wrote a paper on it for my MS). It doesn't seem to have caught on widely as a paradigm, with a few exceptions I'm aware of (Elm, Meteor).
- platz 13y agoI had thought the most widely used implementation of FRP was in ReactiveCocoa.
- zcrar70 13y agoRx (for C#), RxJS (for Javascript), Bacon.js. Definitely not 'widely' but there are a few library implementations out there. I reckon that the reason for this is that it's most useful when the interactivity is high (i.e. there are a lot of events to react to), but most applications (desktop, web) don't have a high enough number of events to make learning a new paradigm 'worthwhile'.
